Me, at 5'4. My mom is 5'2. My dad was only 5'6. My brother is 6'1 - he got his height from our great grandpa because the rest of our family is pretty puny!

I think my mom was a little over 5'7", and I'm closer to 5'8", so I guess I'm taller. Other than her, though, I'm the shorty in my family. Most of the women on both sides are 6' (or taller).

At her tallest, my Mom was almost 6'1. She had shrunk a lot with age and disease, but by the time she died she was still a bit taller than me. Maybe closer to 5'10 (I'm about 5'8).
I've got about 6" on her, maybe more if she's shrinking. I'm 5'10", and I think she's around 5'4". I've been able to rest my chin on her head when we hug since junior high.
